Chapter 107: The Weasel Goes to Pay Respects to the Hen—Not with the Best Intentions

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

There were less than 20 days to her homecoming party. Wen Xinya had only attended a handful of official banquet parties in her previous life, let alone a banquet involving the entire Wen Corporation, the media, and the upper class. She did not even hold one for her 18th adult ceremony.

She knew more than anyone how important this party was to her. This party marked the starting point of her life, and she would not allow any mistake to interfere with her strong return.

That is why she requested Grampy and Grandpa to find her some books regarding banquet etiquette.

At this moment, Mother He ran into the backyard mysteriously and whispered quietly in her ear. “Young Mistress, there are guests in the house. You have to be careful later on.”

Wen Xinya froze. The visitors were probably here to see her because of her kidnapping! Why did Mother He specifically ask her to be careful? “Who are them?”

“It’s your stepmother, stepsister, and that fake Mistress who crawled into the phoenix’s nest! Uncle Zhang said that they came here with bad intentions and let me inform you about their visit in advance so that you can prepare.” Mother He did not sound happy.

Wen Xinya’s face sank. It’s them, what are they up to this time? “Mother He, I understand. They will not dare to do anything in the Mo house.”

Mother He finally stopped worrying.

Wen Xinya walked into the living room for welcoming guests, where Uncle Zhang was hosting Ning Shuqian and company. Wen Xinya walked over quickly, pretending to be surprised. “Aunt Ning, Yuya, Xia Ruya, why are you guys here?”

“I heard from your Grandpa that you were kidnapped and suffered quite a shock from it, so I decided to come and see you.” She had only just found out that this wretch was so lucky that she escaped from getting a drug addiction. Resentment and hatred boiled in her veins.

Ning Shuqian looked over at Wen Xinya who was standing near the living room, wearing a light blue long dress. The pure and ethereal blue covered by a thin, white shawl looked just like the white clouds floating in the clear blue sky in Autumn, making her look extremely elegant. There was a yellow rosewood carved hairpin on her head, and she looked so quaint that she looked like a famous maiden transmigrated from the olden times.

Wen Xinya’s smile reached her eyes. “I’m fine, just a false alarm. I’m sorry to make Aunt Ning and company come on a trip especially just for me.”

“Stop spouting nonsense. If anything happens to you, I will naturally feel worried and come to see you.” Ning Shuqian suddenly realized that Wen Xinya had lost her vulgar and uncouth behaviors and had evolved into a true rich heiress. In just two months, she had changed dramatically, and this discovery clouded her vision.

“That’s right, when I first heard that sister had been kidnapped, I was so scared that I had nightmares for a few nights. Now that I see sister is fine, I feel relieved.” Wen Yuya happily walked to her side and linked arms with her, deep hatred hidden in her eyes. This b*tch is really fine, not injected with liquid drugs and not even injured. The hatred from the bottom of her heart was so deep and intense that it grew and spread like seaweeds in the ocean, emitting green and black toxins, promising to wrap around and kill anything in its path.

Xia Ruya quickly chimed in. “Aunt Ning and Yuya were both worried about you, and I felt uneasy too, so we arranged to come to visit you together.”

Wen Xinya revealed her arm, which was free from any marks, and led Ning Shuqian and company into the main living room.

It dawned on Ning Shuqian that the former small hall was not for hosting guests but for welcoming guests. Entering the small hall, guests had to wait for the owner to decide to see them or not.

Ning Shuqian’s expression turned sour. It was her first time visiting the Mo Family, and she did not expect that Old Mr. Mo would not honor her. Not only did he let a servant receive her, but he also brought her to the small hall as well.

Wen Xinya saw through Ning Shuqian’s expression and hurriedly explained. “Aunt Ning, you know that the Mo household only has Grampy as the sole owner. Grampy is old, and as a great Confucian scholar, many people come to seek advice. Of course, he cannot let everyone into the living room.”

On the inside, she was laughing uncontrollably. Uncle Zhang is such a genius to come up with this way of humiliating Ning Shuqian and company!

Ning Shuqian felt better after hearing this. Old Mr. Mo was a senior, it would be inappropriate for him to receive them. “I understand.”

Ning Shuqian and company finally arrived in the living room.

This was Ning Shuqian’s first time in the Mo Family. Although she tried to remain warm and generous, her eyes could not help but wander around carefully, vaguely revealing her fiery greed, shock, and confusion.

Meanwhile, as Wen Yuya was still young, she did not know the value of these antiques. She took it that the Mo house was just decorated rather old-fashionedly, unlike Ning Shuqian’s expression of greed and shock. Her eyes showed no traces of plotting against the Mo Family and looked around as if it was her own home.

In contrast, Xia Ruya’s behavior was much more elegant and noble, but Wen Xinya noticed the fleeting unwillingness to come to visit in her eyes.

Wen Xinya took note of all of their expressions, and her eyes flashed with distaste for a brief moment. “Aunt Ning, don’t just stand there, come sit!”

Ning Shuqian smiled quickly. “You were kidnapped and suffered such a big shock. I have specially brought over bird’s blood from Thailand’s Roland Rock Mountain for to you regain your health and strength.”

Wen Xinya looked at the boxes of supplements on the coffee table. They were from “Good Food Hall” and definitely cost a large sum of money. “Thank you, Aunt Ning. I’m already very happy that you are visiting me, you did not have to bring gifts along.”

Wen Yuya chipped in. “I also prepared a gift for sister. I specially went to Qingquan Temple to pray for this safety charm. When Sister brings it around, it will definitely keep you safe and healthy.” She handed over an exquisite little sachet to Wen Xinya.

This charm was indeed from Qingquan Temple. But instead of being a peace charm, it was a symbol of evil. When she prayed for it, she was very sincere in asking God for Wen Xinya’s death—for her to choke while drinking water, fall when walking, choke while eating, or get hacked when going out.

Wen Xinya reached her hand out, touched. “Yuya, thanks for the thought.”

Xia Ruya handed over a delicate box to Wen Xinya and smiled. “I went to Qingquan Temple together with Yuya. She prayed for the peace charm while I requested the master of Qingquan Temple to bless this piece of jade so that it can ward off evil.”

She was not as childish as Yuya, who even asked someone to draw a picture of a ghost. This piece of jade was indeed blessed by the master, but she never believed in these superstitious things. Whether it would work was another matter; thus, she did not resort to such petty tricks.

Wen Xinya was extremely grateful. “Thank you!”

Ning Shuqian saw that the atmosphere became very harmonious and could not help but ask, “Earlier when you were kidnapped, your Grandpa was so worried that his hair turned white. Later on, when you were rescued, your Grandpa was so elated that he forgot to thank the person who saved your life. Today your Grandpa specially asked me to come to ask you who that person is so that Wen Family can thank your savior warmly and properly.”
